On my fifth rewatch. What a great character and actor, he really captured who I’d think Burt would be. Sad day but also happy because of what he gave us.
Although he continued to work throughout his life I think Mad Men really gave him his second act on a larger scale as a senior character actor. There are those of us who can remember that he really broke through into the public eye as a boyish looking performer due to “How to Succeed in Business”.
Watch his movie “How To Succeed In Business [Without Really Trying]” He’s great in it, and the script is a hilarious takedown of capitalism.

Amazing performance as Bert Cooper!
I didn’t realize he died today. It makes this scene even sadder.
